Mirror Sex Might Just Be the Best Sex

Say you would like to leave a casual hook-up still fantasising about you decades from now. You have come to the right place. Say you are looking to blow the mind of your long-time partner. You have come to the right place. Say you are just looking to cum. You have...yes, you get it, because here is the secret: anything you can do without a mirror is suddenly 10 times hotter in front of one.

Why? Well, aside from the obvious reasons (like you can pretend you live in Samantha Jones's old apartment), mirror sex taps into your body's reward centre (that is, the part of your brain that releases feel-good chemicals) in a very specific way, says US-based clinical sexologist Valerie Poppel, Ph.D. When you see yourself both experiencing and expressing pleasure, your body releases dopamine that makes you feel even better. It's like staring at your own porn, says Valerie.

So, like we said. And the best part may be just how accessible all this is. You don't have to buy any extra accessories because, hi, there are mirrors basically everywhere. As long as you are able to see your body move, the situation will take on Megan-Fox-and-Kourtney Kardashian-sharing-an-apple-level passion. Keep reading to master this essential life skill.
